zsa zsa stupid

[mikeholmes-48012 · 6/10 · 18 December 2015]

episode like another in this general time frame, started off nice, just Rourke going "lets go" without stupid Tattoo thing.

So the first story was Zsa Zsa Gabor looking for new husband but her dead ex one keeps popping up and poo pooing them. She has a choice of three .I was thinking the artsy one would win. But it was the all business one, who won cause they went with how he regretted being unmarried and all business all his life. In this fun journey of her picking , i learned her ex dead husband is able to become a ghost and can let her know his presence by doing his trademark tap dance. Kinda funny, this week i was at a Christmas performance my niece was in and they had tap dancing kids and my fatherin law, (too loudly) said "tap dancing? that will server them usefully later in life". I learned this episode , that my father in law is wrong. Tap dancing noises are good for haunting your ex wife, unless she knows a lot of dudes who died who tap dance and shes like "which one could that be, oh well , ill just go hook up with some dude, hope my dead ex husband isn't watching".

Anyhow just a weird story line. She decides to go kill herself by driving off a cliff but her car stops midway through a nice "Knight rider" as a child i loved but without the explosion as her dead ex shows up to talk to her. HE says they will "love again" but yet all the sudden hes cool with her marrying some dude. I'd like to say date but on fantasy island crap moves fast. one day your single and pining for some dude, next day you guys are getting married on a flight home . I learned in this episode , ghosts can drink. that should have helped him become more possessive of her , not all , "hey this is great, meet some dude".

Other story line was better . some guy was poisoned and wants to find out who did it and heard they are on some shifty part of the island. He had twelve hours to live (specific). So i am imagining he was on the mainland, got poisoned, flew from LA to Hawaii with a hair follicle he found that was the killer, made his fantasy, got bumped up due to time constraints, Or maybe he was on the island already, got poisoned, made a fantasy and was bumped up, who knows. But he goes to this private place , ithoughti t was a nursing home, and goes into some hot chicks room to search for her hair to match, she comes home, hes like "opps wrong room" and shes like "Ok but just leave". he looked like that Beastie Boy from the Sabotage video. Then stuff happens, the bad guy goes after him , he saves bad guys life but it s too late but bad guy says how he poisoned him. cause no one could save him cause they had no idea what poison was used. I 'd think its a base , acid or something and you'd have two choices. Say their are 14 antidote for a poison, he could just take all 14. "no that 's a pain in the butt, i d rather die". Leave your imagination at the door for this one.

oh he gets the girl. wedding bells as per fantasy island style, are in their future. They will in my estimation, land at one of the two's houses, instantly live together, go through wedding planning and have their lives drastically altered in ways one couldn't imagine, and fall in love and get married. lol.

Strange brew

[stones78 · 19 September 2014]

A strange cast was assembled for this episode, and both stories had their strange moments as well. Some faces included Bobby Sherman, Sid Haig(talk about strange!), Gene Barry, Eva Gabor(tired of the accent already), a wooden Michael Cole, and Morgan Brittany, whose real name is Suzanne Cupito, and I don't know why I feel the need to mention that. The better story had Sherman's character(Thomas Henshaw)on the island trying to find out who poisoned him, and what the motive was. Even though I don't know much about either of them, both Haig and "Brittany", or Cupito, were better than anyone else, which isn't saying all that much, but both of them were solid anyway. I found both Sherman and Cole, especially him, quite dull and uninteresting. I'll give it credit for being a fairly original plot though, even though I thought it could've been written better, but I thought it ended well. The other story seems like a silly fantasy, as Anastasia Dexter(fancy name)wishes to be rid of her dead husband's influence on her wanting to meet other snobby men to marry. There's a few rather corny special effects, such as Mr. Dexter's ghost appearing than disappearing, and there's a really bad one when Anastasia's car goes over a cliff, and then she changes her mind about killing herself, and, you guessed it, the car goes in reverse, or the camera goes in reverse in a classic face palm moment. Don't feel bad if you missed this episode, I'll save you the trouble and tell you it's mediocre at best.
